Brakes - HOLDEN MY18 TJ Trax Owner's Manual

154 Driving and operating
• Do not engage reverse gear
while the vehicle is moving.
• Ensure the clutch pedal is
completely pushed to the floor.
• Do not use the pedal as a foot
rest.
Caution
Do not drive with your hand
resting on the shift lever.

Brakes

The brake system comprises two
independent brake circuits.
If one brake circuit fails, the vehicle
can still be braked using the other
brake circuit. However, braking effect
is achieved only when the brake
pedal is pressed firmly. Considerably
more force is needed for this.
The braking distance is extended.
Contact a Holden Dealer.
Caution
Do not drive with your foot resting
on the brake pedal. This will
accelerate wear of the brake
components and cause the
brakes to become overheated.
Warning
After driving through deep water,
washing the vehicle or using
the brakes excessively such as
when descending a steep hill, the
brakes can temporarily lose their
stopping power. This may be
due to wet brake components or
overheating.
Shift to a lower gear when going
down hills. Do not continuously
apply the brakes.
To dry out the brakes:
• Ensure there is a clear area
ahead.
• Lightly apply the brakes.
• Maintain a slow forward speed
until performance returns to
normal.
